Brain dopamine and obesity : The Lancet - 0 views

  •  
    Dopamine found to be inversely associated with BMI.  The higher the BMI, the lower the dopamine levels.  This low dopamine would result in a proposed "pathological eating".  As dopamine is the "pleasure" neurotransmitter, it would be easy to see how low dopamine would result in overeating.

Brain dopamine transporters in obesity -- Yao et al. 51 (1002): 1820 -- Society of Nucl... - 0 views

  • The dopaminergic deficiency mechanism in obesity may primarily involve in dopamine receptors, but not dopamine transporters in a subset of non-binge eating obesity
  •  
    Dopamine transporters don't appear to have role in overeating and obesity; more likely involves dopamine receptors

PLOS ONE: Testosterone Induces Molecular Changes in Dopamine Signaling Pathway Molecule... - 0 views

  • The majority of the gene expression changes reported here are only induced by DHT and testosterone, and not by estradiol, indicating that in adolescent males androgen receptor, not ERα, activation is critical for these responses
  • It is less clear whether ERβ is involved or not as DHT, via conversion to 3β-diol has a high affinity for ERβ
  • the testosterone-induced, AR-driven modulation of molecular indices of dopamine responsivity of the nigrostriatal pathway may involve regulation of dopamine feedback inhibition in the somatodendritic field and post-synaptic dopamine action in the terminal field.
  •  
    Testosterone increases dopamine signaling.  This study was done on male rats.  No effect was seen with Estradiol.

Dopamine-based reward circuitry responsivity, genetics, and overeating. - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    low dopamine Rc associated appears to increase addiction to sugar and its positive effect on these same receptors (and another that positively interacts with dopamine Rc's) and results in overeating and weight problems.

  •  
    study points to a modest decrease in dopamine and serotonin production in heroic users.  There appears to be a decrease in dopamine production, which could be via a down regulation of tyrosine hydroxylase enzyme and thus release.  Decreased homovanillate also noted.  Other studies have pointed to a decrease/downregulation of D2/D3 receptors.

  •  
    Testosterone modulates dopaminergic pathways in the the brain.  This was a rat model.  This points to some of the euphoria experienced by men on Testosterone likely occurs through dopamine.
